ECW legend Tommy Dreamer recently spoke with Huge Pop about various topics, including the current roster in TNA Wrestling. He mentioned that the wrestlers are not concerned about the recent departures of several talents, such as Jordynne Grace, Ace Austin, Josh Alexander, and Mike Bailey, over the past few months.
Dreamer said, “I’ll take it from and I quote him a lot, Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon didn’t want people who didn’t want to be there. What player do you want on your team if they don’t want to be there? It’s a different world. I was with Tony Khan when Jalen Ramsey went on social media and requested a trade, and Tony Khan literally goes, ‘I love Jalen. We’re going to give him what he wants,’ and literally then traded him, he goes, ‘Did you see who we got?’ He was excited for the two guys that they got and the future, because it’s cool. You don’t want to be on my team? That’s cool. Go, go somewhere else. I’m also crazy; I had a different attitude towards ECW because I had ECW blinders on. ECW was developmental for the industry. If somebody’s contract is coming up, or if WWE — why would you not want them to go experience something else? Here’s also what I will say: this place will always be here. As long as I’m here, this place will always be here. When you come back, you could be an even bigger star for this company, whether you fail or succeed. Think about if AJ Styles ever came to TNA, it’s massive. Think of if LA Knight showed up in TNA, right? Motor City Machine Guns. Think of if they return, it’s going to be bigger for the company, right?”
